I’m planning a 10-day self-drive trip along Scotland’s North Coast 500 (NC500) – one of the most scenic and legendary routes in the UK. I’m looking for a like-minded travel buddy (or two!) who’s into road trips, wild landscapes, and some unforgettable adventures in the Scottish Highlands.

Highlights:

🌊 Remote beaches, cliffs, and dramatic coastlines

🏰 Castles, lighthouses, and charming Highland villages

🥾 Optional hikes (like Sandwood Bay or Quiraing)

🥃 Distillery stops if you're into whisky

🌌 Starry nights, bonfires (if we camp), and peaceful nature

📸 Great photography opportunities & drone-friendly landscapes
